Mr Sun: Legendary fiddler Darol Anger, youthful guitar whiz Grant Gordy, and the redoubtable mandolinist Joe Walsh have all spent their lives moving from place to place, adopting a town and then moving on, toward an intimate knowledge of the physical and psychic terrains that make up the Americas.
Though each is of a different generation, they've walked similar musical paths, exploring the worlds of bluegrass, blues, jazz, and old-time, on their way to mastery of their chosen instruments. Over the years, they have each become virtuosos of the vast swath of dialects that comprise American roots music.

In the company of prodigious bassist Ethan Jodziewicz (pronounced yo-JEV-itz) they found a kindred musical spirit: a student of the bass pioneer Edgar Meyer at the Curtis Institute, and equally skilled in folk, jazz and classical music -with or without the bow!- Ethan is one of the most exciting young bassists in the country.

Making a musical home for themselves in the space around and between the great American roots styles, this quartet draws from all of their varied backgrounds (Grammy-nominated fiddle music and jazz, award-winning bluegrass, indie/pop grass, new acoustic string bands, and classical music) in crafting a sound all their own, and is drawing all the right kind of attention for their new musical work.
